Send me an e-mail. I will buy one from you as soon as you are up and running. I have a Rono and a Mann which is tuned at CGDAE. I would love to get one of yours as well.
GOod luck...

Actually a fifth fret capo on Kang's Mando would be standard mandolin tuning.

Karl,

I am with you 110 percent. I was just responding to the posts after for other builders. I was looking to have Rono build me a new 5 string but since I have read this thread I am looking for...

Let us not forget that Rono does build a great electric 5 string mando even though his business dealings maybe shady.
I love my Rono!!!!

Wow a pick boy meta carb thread. I though I was the only person who used the MC. They are the best pick ever for electric/acoustic guitars and 5 string mandos. However they are not too good for 8...

I would suggest everyone who has been ripped off or is being ignored by Mr Oates get together and pitch in to hire a private investigator and find out where he is and then give the information to the...

I do not turn off the comressor at all. I may switch from one side to the other since it is a bi-copm but it is never off. I cannot believe I did not use one my whole life until now. It is now in my...

Hubert,

Check out old Aquarium Rescue Unit, String Cheese Incident, Michael Lampert. They play lead/rythym even the guy in SCI uses Midi mando. I love my 5 strings for rythym because of the low c...

Kirby,

The Rono and the Mann both great 5 string electrics. Although they are very different. First my Rono has a fixed bridge with Graphite saddles like a strat or tele. THe Mann has a movable...

I must agree with Frank. My Rono is so hard to put down. It is the best electric mandolin I have ever played. (Have not played a schwab yet) I also have a Mann 5 string which I do love and is a...

Jaus,

I had one of these fenders. #I paid $290.00 USA brand new no case. I believe I got a real good deal on this model. I did sell it however and was not very impressed however it was my first...

As stated before. I love a humbucker sound with the 5 string. It fattens up the sound. My 2 cents anyway.
